   Thanks! Agreed! At this time, I have some pretty cool text effects. But yes, the text support is not as good as I'd like. It's something I'm working on fixing. So yeah, I'll definitely have that :)

   Thanks! Hehe ;) I've actually had to create a PRORES-lookalike for Windows, since normal play would be waaay too slow. I can work on some improvements at a later time, but at this time, I'm more than happy with the results. You ca

   > I understand the limitations mentioned for reencoding, which are perhaps likewise applicable to other software vendors also. It does limit usage though, in my opinion. It may be fast with GPUs, but the difference on my high end machine

   Lol :D Windows can suck, in lots of ways ;) Now multiply that by 1000x if you're a developer :D > I would like more "tracks" to drop stuff in and have the app assume what 99% of users are trying to do. Right now I allow fo

   Got it, thanks! If lots of people will ask for this, I will certainly implement it. I do understand what you need, and while it's not easy, it's definitely doable. Knowing my already huge todo list, this will take a lower priority

   Thanks, got it now! I use a different rendering process, and at this time, there's no need for this (the GPU can do all the work real time). Everything I've dealt with so far didn't require pre-rendering yet. I may end up doi

   Thanks! For previewing and playing, I use GPU only. For rendering (export), it's a combo of GPU + CPU, and I defer that to Windows - in a nutshell, there's an API that you call, in order to export an .mp4 file. Of course, there&#x

    Thanks! I do what to go multi-platform ASAP. However, because of the sheer complexity of video editing - and since I focused on speed + ease of use from the get go, I chose to go with a single platform (Windows) for starters. Once I am clos

    Thanks! About video processing time - are you talking about the rendering time, at export, or the "optimize" time when you import the video into the project? Software stability: for sure! One of my priorities is fixing any crashes

    Thanks! Funny you mentioned that - when you open the app and start a new project, in the "video area", there's a link to a "Getting Started" tutorial :) > I realize now that, because of the size of video files an

    Thanks! > In every editor I used, they usually miss YUV support and OpenEXR support (monochannel 16bit images for example). It would also be terribly useful to me to be able to zoom anywhere in the frames and get the precise color values

    Thanks! I did check MS Photos app a while ago, and I've got pretty much all it has (and a lot more ;)) However, I added it to my todo list to take another look ;)

    Thanks! My focus is on speed and easy of use. I already have some features that pretty much no one else has: - Custom Music Visualizers -- the ability to have any part of the video react to music, - Epic Focus (which is Pan and Zoom, but wi

    Thanks! 1) Unfortunately, I will not focus on low-spec machines. The future is high end, and my app will cost money. It's very likely people with low-spec machines won't pay for my app anyway. The main reason for this, however, is

    Thanks! I'll take another look at Windows Movie Maker, apparently :) I would say my app is quite friendly, but then again, I may be biased :)

    Thanks! Just curious if there's something you'd like done faster or something that Vegas doesn't properly offer. About mkv: I'm looking into supporting mkv, but it's a really weird format. I've tried in the pas

    Thanks! My bad - I'm aiming at casuals + semipro. Initially, my focus is casuals, and slowly towards semipro as well.
